		<title>CollabNet Subversion Server for Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Pragmatic Guide to Subversion went to press, CollabNet has updated their Subversion server. If you want to follow the instructions in the book, use this link to download the previous Subversion server from CollabNet, rather than the link in the book. Make sure you select the &#8220;server and client&#8221; download for Subversion 1.6. Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pragmatic Guide to Subversion: Now in Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things have been a bit quiet on my blog recently, I think I&#8217;d better explain myself. Two things have been happening in my life over the last couple of years. Firstly I am now a proud dad with two lovely kids, Ben and Natalie, who are two-and-a-bit and seven months, respectively. To say that having [...]]]></description>

		<title>Compressing Viewstate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article is written by guest author John Finlay. Thanks John!
Perhaps the primary statistic by which clients measure web applications is response time. Obviously, web pages that take too long to appear, or at least start to appear, frustrate end-users.
One of the many reasons a web page can be slow is merely the quantity of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subversion 1.5 is Ready</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Subversion 1.5 has just been released and has a whole raft of new features that developers have been asking for. To take full advantage of all the new features you&#8217;ll need to upgrade both your server and clients, but both will inter-operate so you can upgrade gradually if you wish. Server upgrade does not require [...]]]></description>

		<title>Domain Driven Reporting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ThoughtWorks projects are built using best practices that include layered architectures, at the heart of which is often a domain model. The model contains concepts and business logic to support the application. The model is often persisted using an object relational mapping scheme with either custom code or a mapping tool such as Hibernate. Our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire your dev teams (reprise)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, of course I don&#8217;t really think you can fire your entire development team and throw away your existing successful code base. Just because a blog post is spell checked and doesn&#8217;t contain swear words all over it does not mean someone is being entirely serious. I&#8217;m really disappointed in the anonymous Internet hate comments [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Post Comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last post seems to have generated some commentary, as was intended. I moderate all comments and if you haven&#8217;t posted before it might take me a while to approve your comment. Once you&#8217;ve had one comment approved any future comments should appear immediately. I&#8217;m doing this is so I can filter out Viagra spam [...]]]></description>

		<title>Startups: Fire Your Dev Teams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook should have fired their development team the minute they became successful. If you&#8217;re a startup and you just made it big you should take a long hard look at your software team and make some changes.
I&#8217;ve worked for two startups and consulted at several more. I&#8217;m not just talking about software startups, this applies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog upgraded to WordPress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve upgraded to WordPress after several happy years using Blosxom. Whilst Blosxom is a neat blogging engine and has served my needs well, it doesn&#8217;t really have all the spanky new &#8220;community&#8221; features that I&#8217;d really like. A colleague told me recently that I&#8217;d gone &#8220;dark&#8221; and that&#8217;s true&#8211;hopefully easy drafting of blog posts and [...]]]></description>
